What happened? Why does my AC need repair?

Even if you keep your air conditioner correctly maintained, at some point it’s going to require repair services. Air conditioners are working machines, with parts that wear and tear over time.

Think about when a car breaks down and requires service. There’s a whole host of things that could have gone wrong. Some are more common and could be a simple fix, while others, maybe more complex and potentially costly. But, you won’t know for sure until you have a qualified expert on the case.

The same is true with AC repair. Your air conditioner could be broken due to leaks, inadequate lubrication, age, dust, electrical issues, wear and tear, or even faulty installation. One of our trained and certified technicians can visit your home and evaluate your system. Then, we can give you a straight answer on what’s needed to get your air conditioner up and running.

How soon can you get here?

No matter what time of day you discover your cooling system is broken, you can call us. Seriously! Whether it’s 3 am or early Sunday morning, our team is hard at work keeping LA comfortable. Call us anytime – really! – at (310) 810-2721, and we will dispatch a technician to your home.

Rest assured that you will get the same level of service anytime you call. We know how stressful it is not to have the air conditioner working. No matter when we visit your home, you can still expect us to arrive with collared shirts and covered shoes. We make every effort to fix your AC in one visit. That’s why we keep our service trucks fully stocked. No matter what the problem is with your AC, we’ll be able to solve it.

Common Air Conditioner Repairs

As the heat is rising in your home, you might be wondering: how bad is it? Here are some of the more common problems we see in LA:

  • Refrigerant Leaks
  • Drainage Problems
  • Broken Condenser Fan
  • Compressor Issues

Refrigerant Leak

Your air conditioner uses a chemical refrigerant in order to cool air in your house. The refrigerant is contained in pipes that connect indoor and outdoor equipment. A leak somewhere in the system can cause the air conditioner not to cool as effectively. The best solution is to find the leak, seal it, and then add refrigerant back to proper levels.

Drainage Problems

Have you ever noticed the condensation that forms on the outside of a cold water glass? Air conditioning coils get very cold and also produce condensate. Air conditioners are designed with drain pans and piping to help the condensate flow away. But if there’s a clog somewhere in your system, it can cause all sorts of problems. For example, you might experience very high humidity levels, or, if your drain pan is full, your AC may not turn on at all.
Identifying the air conditioning repair needed

Broken Condenser Fan

the big metal box outside your home is called the condensing unit. The condensing unit houses a compressor, coils, and one or more fans. All of these components are integral to the operation of your air conditioner. Specifically, the outdoor fan helps cool the refrigerant and push hot air away from the unit. If it’s not operating, your system will struggle to perform. The root of the problem could be any number of things, from a motor problem to bent blades.

Compressor Issues

Perhaps the most feared by homeowners, a compressor problem is one of the most complex repairs. The compressor is the most critical part of your air conditioner. Without it, nothing else in the system works properly. It is a sophisticated device, so if there is an issue with your compressor, there are many potential causes. Compressors are also the most expensive component of any air conditioning system. So if you’re facing a compressor replacement, you might consider replacing the air conditioner instead.

Frequently Asked Questions


What Air Conditioner Brands Does Brody Pennell Service?
Though we are a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer (CFAD), our team or highly trained technicians can repair and service any brand of air conditioner. Repairing your air conditioner requires a proper diagnosis from an expert. Contact us today if you have more questions about our AC repair service.
What Is The Most Common AC Problem?
In Los Angeles, there are a few air conditioner repairs we see often. The most common AC problems we fix are typically caused by faulty thermostats, bad condensor fans, broken compressors, and coils needing to be cleaned. Many of these issues can be prevented with routine maintenance.
How Much Does AC Repair Cost?
Though the cost of your air conditioner repair can vary based on the severity of the issue, the typical range for AC repair is between $150 – $700. If your AC system is fairly new, it may make sense to seek repair options first. However, if your system is 10 years or older, it might be time to consider replacement. As many of these issues continue to occur as your system gets older.
How Long Will It Take To Fix My Air Conditioner?
Again, this can vary case-by-case depending on what is wrong with your system. However, our service technicians typically can get air conditioners fixed and running again within two to six hours, at the most.
Do I Need To Be Home For My Service Visit?
We typically prefer for our customers to be home when we conduct service visits, in order to ensure effective communication & service. However, if you have an assistant or personal assistant that takes care of your home, they can be present as needed.

Let me state, first, that it would be an injustice to limit my comments about the service we have received from Brody Pennell to what has been provided by Rosendo Valdez, and the two fellows of his installation crew on January 2nd. I have to add the initial contact we had with technician, Daniel, and his manager, Brett. Collectively, these five gentlemen were not only excellent representatives of the company, they were also great lightening rods for the practice of customer serve in general. In all cases, their professionalism was tempered with culture of care, comfort, and concern for what we needed and what the company could provide, all in an effort to close the gap between where we were when we initially contacted Brody Pennell and where we wished to be in addressing the issue with heating our home. The character of their work easily surpassed the goal of meeting the needs of our household, going hand in hand with meeting their responsibilities as company employees providing a product to the public.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the fantastic review! We're happy to have served you well.
Justin U. was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. He quickly diagnosed the issue with my heating system and walked me through the steps that needed to be taken to repair it.

Justin was prompt, explained our issue and very professional. Pleased with the service.
Response from the owner:Your satisfaction is our reward. Thank you for the 5-star review!
Really impressed with the service. I arrived home to discover my heater stopped working and they were at my house within 2hr of calling, and had it fixed about 2hr after that. Justin was very helpful and explained everything that caused the issue and how to prevent it going forward. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Carolyn! We're glad you were impressed with our service and that Justin could help explain everything. Your satisfaction means a lot to us!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Small-t, for taking the time to leave a review. Your feedback is appreciated!

The technical staff at Brody and Pennell are experienced, knowledgeable, and communicate very well. They will investigate and answer any questions without difficulty.

My technician was very thorough and professional. He was very detailed in his inspection of the equipment and in letting me know his assessment. It was very easy to communicate with him and he was not bothered with any of the questions I had. Even though the company gave a discount for the service, I feel it was a very through inspection.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Richard, for your kind words! We're glad to hear that you had a positive experience with our technician and appreciated their thoroughness and communication. Your feedback means a lot to us!
The "comfort club" is well worth the annual fee. Our system is checked and cleaned twice annually, and the staff have been superb.
